It is no secret that reels are one of the most powerful ways to capture attention, engage your audience, and grow your following. But with so much content out there, it’s easy for your reel to get lost in the shuffle. The key to creating impactful reels that stop the scroll lies in combining branded visuals with value-driven messaging.

If you're ready to create some high-impact, polished reels that not only showcase your creativity but also drive action and follows, here are 5 reel combos to get you started. 👇

1. Thought Starter

A simple, yet effective approach. This combination not only captures attention but encourages engagement, which can lead to increased followers and conversions.

How to make it:

1. Type Box or Quote: A compelling message that introduces your brand or value proposition. Use a high quality b-roll video as an ambient background to your message.
2. Call To Action: End with a call to action (CTA) that guides your viewer on what to do next—visit your website, sign up for a newsletter, or check out your product.

2. Product Feature

‍This technique allows you to showcase your latest project or product release. It’s perfect for creatives, service providers, and anyone looking to promote new offerings in a visually compelling way.

The Combo:

1. Photo Frames:  Show off a collection of images in a cohesive way. Use a variety of image layouts that are edited to a trending audio to keep it engaging.
2. Website: End the reel on your landing page as a visual CTA.

3. Tips & Tricks

‍Provide real value in a short amount of time by distilling tips into a list. Great for showcasing your knowledge and positioning you as an expert. At the end, don’t forget the CTA—this could encourage viewers to download a resource, visit your blog, or sign up for a service.

The Recipe:

1. Type List: Break down your ideas into digestible, easily skimmed points. Keep your list to 5-7 items so it's quick and easy to consume!
2. Call To Action: Let your viewers know what action to take if they want more nuggets of wisdom.

4. Content Promotion

‍If you need to promote content on another platform, this combo is a great way share a sneak peek with your audience. Start with a teaser clip from the episode—a powerful moment or a funny exchange. After the clip, display your podcast thumbnail, along with a CTA encouraging viewers to listen to the full episode.

The remix:

1. New Podcast: This can be a clip from your Podcast, Youtube video, or a Blog/Newsletter screenshot.
2. Thumbnail: Wrap it up with a visually striking thumbnail that encourages viewers to seek out the long form content.

5. Work With Me

‍Client testimonials are one of the most effective ways to build trust and offer social proof. Pair it with VO that speaks directly to your audience and highlights how you can solve their specific problems. This combo not only boosts your credibility but also directly leads to more inquiries.

The ingredients:

1. Client Review: This can be a quick clip at the beginning of the reel with voice over such as “This is what our clients are saying. Here’s what we did to solve their problem.”
2. Case Study: Images of the work you did for them or stock footage that illustrates your services.
3. Call To Action: Ask the viewer if they’d like the same results as your current clients, and how they can work with you.
